> 日本人 **にも** 人気のリゾート地として知られるフィリピンのボラカイ島で...  
>  On the Phillipine island of Borakai, which is known as a resort popular
> even with Japanese people, ...

I can't decide if this にも goes with 人気, so that it's "a resort popular **even
with** Japanese people", or whether it goes with 知られる so that it's "a popular
resort known **even by** Japanese people".

Is one of these options obviously wrong? Or is the sentence a little
ambiguous? If I had to choose I'd go with my first option simply because にも is
right next to 人気.

question
grammar particle-に
Possible ambiguity in function of に


I think the sentence is a little ambiguous and can be interpreted as having
both meanings.

However I interpret it as "a popular resort known even by Japanese people".
Because, if it means "a resort popular even with Japanese people", it should
be 日本人にも人気の、リゾート地として知られるフィリピンのボラカイ島 or 日本人にも人気があり、リゾート地として知られるフィリピンのボラカイ島.
